Infection Prevention and Control: How to Meet the Conditions of Participation for Home Health Presented by: Mary McGoldrick, MS, RN, CRNI® Infection Prevention and Control: How to Meet the Conditions of Participation for Home Health Mary McGoldrick, MS, RN, CRNI Home Care and Hospice Consultant Saint Simons Island, GA “Nothing to Disclose” Session Objectives At the end of this session, the participant will be able to: • Review data on the extent of infections among home health care patients. • Describe how to design an organization‐wide infection prevention and control program. • Demonstrate how to prepare for the proposed home health CoPs. 1 Infection Prevention and Control: How to Meet the Conditions of Participation for Home Health Presented by: Mary McGoldrick, MS, RN, CRNI® Challenges of Providing Care in the Home Care Setting Lack of control over the home environment: ▪ Environmental contamination 3 ▪ Lack of utilities ▪ Lack of major appliances ▪ Pets and pests Lack of control over caregiver . National Outcomes and Assessment Information Set 5 2 Infection Prevention and Control: How to Meet the Conditions of Participation for Home Health Presented by: Mary McGoldrick, MS, RN, CRNI® Unplanned Hospitalizations due to Infections Reasons for Unplanned Hospitalizations 5 N % Respiratory infections 2787 7.7 Wound infection or deterioration 1702 4.7 Urinary tract infections 1587 4.4 IV catheter‐related Infection 105 0.3% Hepatitis B Outbreaks in Patients Receiving Care from a HHA 3 Year 2010 State TX Setting Assisted living facilities (ALF) (n=10) in the same metropolitan area served by the same home health agency (HHA) for diabetic care (Zheteyeva, Y, et al., 2014) Outbreak‐associated Infections 23 patients in an ALF, plus one family member of an infected facility resident who experienced a needlestick injury while assisting with the resident’s blood glucose monitoring. 1 patient at home. All patients received care by the same HHA. 2009 FL Assisted living facilities (n=2). Blood glucose monitoring activities at both assisted‐living facilities were provided by HHA (Forero, S., et al., 2010) 9 patients in an ALF 2010 Total CA Assisted living facility (Bancroft, E., Hathaway S., 2010). 3 diabetic patients, newly diagnosed with hepatitis B All 3 patients received assisted blood glucose monitoring from same HHA during incubation period of the acute hepatitis B case. 35 patients residing in an ALF and 1 patient residing at their personal residence. 3 Infection Prevention and Control: How to Meet the Conditions of Participation for Home Health Presented by: Mary McGoldrick, MS, RN, CRNI® Proposed Federal Regulations: Home Health Conditions of Participation § 484.70 Condition of participation: Infection prevention and control. • (a) Standard: Prevention. The HHA must follow accepted standards of practice, including the use of standard precautions, to prevent the transmission of infections and communicable diseases. Proposed Federal Regulations: Home Health Conditions of Participation • § 484.70 Condition of participation: Infection prevention and control. • (b) Standard: Control. Maintain coordinated agency‐wide program for the surveillance, identification, prevention, control, and investigation of infectious and communicable diseases that is an integral part of the HHA’s improvement (QAPI) program. 4 Infection Prevention and Control: How to Meet the Conditions of Participation for Home Health Presented by: Mary McGoldrick, MS, RN, CRNI® Proposed Federal Regulations: Home Health Conditions of Participation § 484.70 Condition of participation: Infection prevention and control. • (b) Standard: Control. The infection control program must include: • (1) A method for identifying infectious and communicable disease problems; and • (2) A plan for the appropriate actions that are expected to result in improvement and disease prevention. • (c) Standard: Education. Provide infection control education to staff, patients, and caregiver(s).
